BPMA Royal Mail Archive Info Sheet Postmasters General Archive Information Sheet Postmasters General The head of the Post Office has been known by many different titles– Master of the Posts, Comptroller General of the Posts, and Postmaster of England. It was not until 1657, that the head of the Post Office became known as ‘Postmaster General’. This continued for 312 years, until September 1969 when the office of Postmaster General ceased to exist. King Henry VIII became the first monarch to establish a regular service for the carrying of Royal messages in c1516 when he appointed Sir Brian Tuke as ‘Master of the Posts’ . In 1635, when King Charles I opened up his private Court mail system to the general public, it was the beginning of the Post Office as we know it today. Although an Act passed in 1657 first created the office of Postmaster General as the Head of the Post Office, it was not until another Act passed in 1660, after the death of Cromwell and the Restoration of the monarchy, that officially confirmed the office of the Postmaster General. The appointments of Postmasters General were not generally made for a fixed length of time, which meant that many new Postmasters General were only appointed upon the death, retirement, or resignation of the previous postholder. Famous Postmasters General include Henry Bishop (1660-1663), founder of the ‘Bishop mark’ the first Postmark, Anthony Wedgewood Benn ( 1964-1966), and Neville Chamberlain (1922-1923). Head of the Royal Posts 1516-1655 In this period there was a lot of dispute over the position of Master of the Posts. This related especially to the boundaries between mail within England and mail between England and the continent. In 1619 Matthew De Quester (who had previously been employed under Stanhope), was appointed Postmaster of the Foreign Posts. This was a newly created posi- tion, independent of the Master of the Posts. This was opposed by Stanhope who believed that the letter patent, granting him his position, included the foreign posts. This controversy explains the lack of clarity over dates in this period, and occasional overlap.

These were known as the Whigs and the Tories. From 1691 onwards, two men were appointed to hold the position of Postmaster General jointly– one was to be a member of the Whig party and the other one a Tory. This continued until 1823 (although it had lost much of its political significance before then) and ended with the appointment of the Earl of Chichester– the first sole Postmaster General since 1691.

Signed: Alban Webb ABSTRACT The Second World War had radically changed the focus of the BBC's overseas operation from providing an imperial service in English only, to that of a global broadcaster speaking to the world in over forty different languages. The end of that conflict saw the BBC's External Services, as they became known, re-engineered for a world at peace, but it was not long before splits in the international community caused the postwar geopolitical landscape to shift, plunging the world into a cold war. At the British government's insistence a re-calibration of the External Services' broadcasting remit was undertaken, particularly in its broadcasts to Central and Eastern Europe, to adapt its output to this new and emerging world order.

The subject of this paper* affects an object of high monu- mental art in the county of Hants, hitherto left undescribed by the local historian, although attention was called to it on. the occasion of a visit to Titchfield by the members of the Hampshire Field Club (May 24th, 1888), when Mr. Shore gave an admirable account of. the' Wriothesley family, their territorial possessions in this county, and their last resting place-. Lord 'Bacon, in his work " On the Advancement of Learning,." when referring to the Study, of. Antiquities, or Remnants of History, includes "Monuments as saving and recovering spmewhat from the Deluge of Time," and the late John Gough Nichols observes that memoranda •of.Epitaphs and Heraldry in churches' have always been :; highly estimated by genealogists and biographers, the pro- . fessional heralds deeming such evidences among their most _ reliable materials. With regard to the sepulchral monument of the Wriothesley family in Titchfield church, it is a remarkable and interesting fact that, in Midhurst church, Sussex, Sir Anthony Browne, first Viscount "Montague, erected an alabaster tomb for . himself and his two wives, which was a replica of that at Titchfield, in style, dimensions, and materials of construction. •- * Read at a meeting of the Southampton Literary and Philosophical Society, October 15th, 1888, 66 - "The wife of Henry, second Earl of Southampton1 the founder of the Wriothesley monument, was eldest daughter of this Viscount Montague and mother of Henry, third Earl.

The committee has met over the past year and one-half and a large part of the data was obtained from the abstracts of the town records which were kept by Augustus Leavitt, Harry S. Kelley's history notes written in 1927 for the 200th anniversary and from the only sizable printed history of Chichester written by D. T. Brown in Hurd's History of Merrimack and Belknap Counties containing thirty seven pages. In researching we found that a whole generation is missing. It is regrettable that a history wasn't done before now when much that is now lost was within the mem- ory of some living who had the knowledge of our early history. Our thanks to the townspeople who have contributed either information, pic- tures, maps and written reports. It is our hope that the contents will be interesting and helpful to this and future generations. The Chichester History Committee Rev. H. Franklin Parker June E. Hatch Ruth E.

  • The Slavery Connections of Marble Hill House
    1 The slavery connections of Marble Hill House Dr Laurence Brown School of Arts, Histories and Cultures University of the Manchester June 2010 2 This report was commissioned in November 2008 as part of a project to explore the slavery connections of four historic properties in the stewardship of English Heritage. Archival research was carried out on Bolsover Castle, Brodsworth Hall, Marble Hill House, and Northington Grange to examine the impact of slavery-generated wealth on the development of these properties. The research follows the 2007 survey by Miranda Kaufmann on the family history of 33 English Heritage properties and their slavery connections. Using databases on the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the compensation paid to British slave-owners in the 1830s, Kaufmann’s study focused on those who owned property in slave colonies, held government office in such colonies, invested in slaving or traded in slave produced goods, were engaged in abolitionist debates or legal decisions on slavery, or who owned black servants. The aims of this report are to provide more detailed information on the economic, social, and cultural connections that linked Marble Hill House to Atlantic slavery. The report examines the relative importance of slave-generated wealth in the fortunes of Marble Hill’s occupants and how these changed over time. It then details the extent to which wealth from slavery shaped the physical development of the estate and its aesthetic design. 3 Contents 1) Executive summary 2) Henrietta Howard 3) Slavery in the family: Scipio

  • The Kensington District
    The Kensington District By G. E. Mitton The Kensington District When people speak of Kensington they generally mean a very small area lying north and south of the High Street; to this some might add South Kensington, the district bordering on the Cromwell and Brompton Roads, and possibly a few would remember to mention West Kensington as a far- away place, where there is an entrance to the Earl's Court Exhibition. But Kensington as a borough is both more and less than the above. It does not include all West Kensington, nor even the whole of Kensington Gardens, but it stretches up to Kensal Green on the north, taking in the cemetery, which is its extreme northerly limit. If we draw a somewhat wavering line from the west side of the cemetery, leaving outside the Roman Catholic cemetery, and continue from here to Uxbridge Road Station, thence to Addison Road Station, and thence again through West Brompton to Chelsea Station, we shall have traced roughly the western boundary of the borough. It covers an immense area, and it begins and ends in a cemetery, for at the south-western corner is the West London, locally known as the Brompton, Cemetery. In shape the borough is strikingly like a man's leg and foot in a top-boot. The western line already traced is the back of the leg, the Brompton Cemetery is the heel, the sole extends from here up Fulham Road and Walton Street, and ends at Hooper's Court, west of Sloane Street. This, it is true, makes a very much more pointed toe than is usual in a man's boot, for the line turns back immediately down the Brompton Road.
